Ukraine has called upon PlayStation, Xbox, and other game development companies and esports platforms to take action against Russia and Belarus following the former’s invasion of Ukraine. More specifically, Mykhailo Fedorov, the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, has penned a request for the gaming and esports industry to temporarily block all Russian and Belarusian accounts, halt the participation of Russian and Belarusian esports teams in all esports events, and cancel all international events that may be held in either region. According to Fedorov, if Xbox, PlayStation, and other companies in the industry “support human values” they will completely abandon the Russian and Belarusian markets.
